Boras told ESPN.com on Sunday that Scherzer, not the Tigers, made a "substantial long-term contract extension offer" to the Tigers, which was rejected by the organization.

"Max Scherzer made a substantial long-term contract extension offer to the Detroit Tigers that would have placed him among the highest-paid pitchers in baseball, and the offer was rejected by Detroit,'' Boras told ESPN.com.

Boras' claims dispute comments made by Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski, who said the team made a "very substantial" offer to Scherzer and confirmed all talks have now been tabled until after the season.

Boras confirmed Sunday that extension talks have ended, but said talks will resume when the season concludes.

"Max is very happy with the city of Detroit, the fans and his teammates," Boras told ESPN.com. "We will continue negotiating with the Tigers at season's end."

When asked about the Boras' statement, Dombrowski told MLive.com that the team stands by its earlier statement and has nothing further to add.
